Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Solutions for network and cyber security have become more and more important as many critical and vital tasks have been depending on the public Internet. There have been many innovative and significant discoveries and advancements in literature in the areas of network and cyber security in recent years. The scope of this Special Issue on Electronics covers the approaches, methodologies, algorithms, theories, applications, and implementations of various solutions in network and cyber security. The latest discoveries, proposals, developments, and advancements in the areas of network and cyber security, as well as the state-of-the-art research in these areas, are expected to be published in this Special Issue.

In this Special Issue of MDPI Electronics, we are looking for original and creative contributions in the field of network and cyber security. Research papers with theoretical, technical, and/or practical approaches as well as review articles are all welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Detection and prevention of stepping-stone intrusion.
  • Threat, intrusion, and anomaly detection for the Internet.
  • Infrastructure security.
  • Wireless and mobile security.
  • Intelligent solutions in cryptography.
  • Access control for network security.
  • Anti-virus and anti-hacker techniques for network and cyber security.
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) security.
  • AI and Machine Learning methodologies in network and cyber security.
  • Applications of differential privacy in network and cyber security.
  • Internet Security.
  • Security protocol design.
  • Key distribution and management.

Ransomware, which emerged in 1989, has evolved to the present in numerous variants and new forms. For this reason, serious damage caused by ransomware has occurred not only within our country but around the world, and, according to the analysis of ransomware trends, ransomware poses an ongoing and significant threat, with major damage expected to continue to occur in the future. To address this problem, various approaches to detect ransomware have been explored, with a recent focus on file entropy estimation methods. These methods exploit the characteristic increase in file entropy that is caused by ransomware encryption. In response, a method was developed to neutralize entropy-based ransomware detection technology by manipulating entropy using encoding methods from the attacker’s perspective. Consequently, from the defender’s standpoint, countermeasures are essential to minimize the damage caused by ransomware. Therefore, this article proposes a methodology that utilizes diverse machine learning models such as K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, gradient boosting, support vector machine (SVM), and multi-layer perception (MLP) to detect files infected with ransomware. The experimental results demonstrate empirically that files infected with ransomware can be detected with approximately 98% accuracy, and the results of this research are expected to provide valuable information for developing countermeasures against various ransomware detection technologies.
